Hes disorganized which can cause problems, and also a bit sarcastic or condescending at times but also more than willing to accommodate with deadlines, makes you think, chooses affordable and interesting material, and gives fantastic lectures

Comment:
Mark is a great prof who pushes you to think critically and in-depth about current and relevant topics. His lectures are less about material and more so centred around group discussions and story-telling (very interesting as well!) He is definitely not for those who are interested in strictly academic discussions. Also love his dark humour.

Reading course with lots of discussions. Chose relevant books and was open to changing upcoming books based on class ideas. Very flexible. More about making you think critically than regurgitating the ideas from a book. Lots of laughs at his dark humour and sarcasm. Recommend 100%

Comment:
Worst professor ever! He has no regard for students that struggle whether be in class or out. He is very condensant when he marks your assignments. He doesnt reply emails, as a fourth year student Ive dealt with a lot of professors particularly in the politics department and he is the worst out of them all. Avoid him if you can.

At first glance it appears you'll be reading trashy novels and watching movies - but this class is subtle. If you like to think critically, take this class. Read and be prepared to participate.

Take a Neufeld course if you wish to feel inspired. Many people on this site do not understand his position at what he was trying to accomplish. He makes you think outside of the box, which is a refreshing change in a liberal arts course and the way it should be. Neufeld is the man.

Best professor ever! some prior comments labeled him as a Michael Moore or a Ralph Nader? Clearly some people failed to show up for his classes - I would pin Neufeld more as a Proudhon, Bakunin or Chomsky.

Comment:
He blew my mind by creating a fourth year course on globalization that was based on Freire's pedagagy of the oppressed. He assigned some books and made us see a few movies, and the lectures were just student-led discussions. Tjat class was the most interesting I've EVER takn in my 4 years at Trent.

Burnt out? Jaded? Uninterested? try to read between the sarcasm and seeming tiredness. Its for effect and emphasis, a really great prof. one of the classes i truly enjoy going to.
